The Council of MediaEthics of Macedonia (CMEM) organized its Open Day on May 31st, when the first public session of the Complaints Commission was held. The members of the Commission discussed three adjudications for the media, on the basis of the latest press complaints.
The goal of the open session was to closely inform the public and the media about the work of the Press Council, which since its establishment three and a half years ago made 250 adjudications. This type of open session will be an imperative for the Media Ethics Council in its further action and promotion of self-regulation in the country.According to the Executive Director of the CEMM, Marina Tuneva, it is important to talk about ethics in the profession, but also about the rights of journalists for free expression and safe work. In her opinion, if the voice of the media is silenced then we are all deprived of the right to hear them.
Professor Huub Evers and a member of the Dutch Press Council have identified most common breaches of the professional standards that occur among Dutch journalists. According to the practice of the Dutch Press Council, the most frequently reported problems in the reporting are publication of inaccurate and biased information, news that violates privacy, absence of "second source" of information, and cases when the source of information is not protected. He did not mention hate speech at all, which, in comparison, is identified in a number of cases reported to the Media Ethics Council in Macedonia. Evers talked about the need of journalistic ombudsmen, who are currently engaged in five Dutch media.
Professor Jean - Jacques Jespers, Chairman of the Press Council in Belgium, emphasized that the marketing industry continuously tries to make commercial contents look like journalistic reports.
Statistics in Belgium have shown that 71 percent of Internet users cannot make a distinction between online editorial contents and advertising. Jespers also mentioned the so-called “deceitful omission”, when media signalize commercial contents but the manner in which they do this is not specified i.e. ambiguous terminology is deliberately used.
The President of the Press Complaints Commission in Macedonia, Mirce Adamcevski, emphasized that the number of media supporting the Council of Media Ethics rises, which increasingly becomes more visible in the public. According to the latest findings, 75% of the entire number of press complaints received refers to Internet portals.
The ExecutiveDirector of the Association of Journalists of Macedonia, Dragan Sekulovski, thinks that the laws can often impair freedom of expression and can easily lead to self-censorship. He also added that regulation cannot make the media more ethical and more professional. Sekulovski also emphasized the important role the Council of Media Ethics has in decreasing the number of defamation cases in the country.

(18 Jan 2018) NATO's secretary-general urged Macedonia to solve its 25-year-old name dispute with alliance member Greece and proceed with wide-ranging reforms if it wants its membership bid to succeed.
Addressing the press on Thursday alongside MacedonianPrime MinisterZoran Zaev, Jens Stoltenberg expressed hope that the name issue can be solved and welcomed the "renewed momentum, the renewed efforts" by Macedonia to reach a consensus.
Greece maintains that its neighbour's name implies a territorial claim on its own adjoining province of Macedonia.
Macedonia, a former Yugoslav province that peacefully gained its independence in 1991, denies that, arguing that it covers an area that has been known as Macedonia for a long time.
International institutions formally recognise the country as the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, the name Greece insists on, though many countries prefer plain Macedonia.
Both Greek and Macedonian officials have voiced hopes the dispute can be resolved within months.
Stoltenberg also mentioned the recent killing of Kosovo Serb politician Oliver Ivanovic, who was shot six times by unknown assailants on Tuesday near his political party's offices in the northern Kosovo town of Mitrovica.
Stoltenberg cited it as an "example of that the situation in Kosovo is not yet where we would like it to be".

In white wine production, pressing usually takes place immediately after crushing and before primary fermentation. In red wine production, the grapes are also crushed but pressing usually doesn't take place till after or near the end of fermentation with the time of skin contact between the juice and grapes leaching color, tannins and other phenolics from the skin. Approximately 60-70% of the available juice within the grape berry, the free-run juice, can be released by the crushing process and doesn't require the use of the press. The remaining 30-40% that comes from pressing can have higher pH levels, lower titratable acidity, potentially higher volatile acidity and higher phenolics than the free-run juice depending on the amount of pressure and tearing of the skins and will produce more astringent, bitter wine.

Press (newspaper)

Launched by a group of journalists who left Kurir and published by the company they established called Press Publishing Group, Press quickly developed sizable readership, reaching high circulation in the process. In time, the company parleyed the daily's market success into other print media projects such as another daily Biznis, aimed at business people, as well as a lifestyle weekly magazine Lola and a glossy monthly magazine FAME.

For years, much like many other Serbian media outlets, the paper faced speculation and accusations about its ownership structure. Rumours about the Press' real owners being some of Serbia's most powerful politically connected business tycoons was rampant with individuals like Miroslav Mišković and Dragan Đilas often mentioned in this regard.

The daily was shut down in November 2012 amid great controversy that played out in the Serbian media when tycoon Miroslav Mišković announced his pull-out from the paper's ownership structure, thereby confirming his long-speculated association with the paper.

Macedonia (Roman province)

The Roman province of Macedonia (Latin:Provincia Macedoniae, Greek:Ἐπαρχία Μακεδονίας) was officially established in 146 BC, after the Roman general Quintus Caecilius Metellus defeated Andriscus of Macedon, the last self-styled King of the ancient kingdom of Macedonia in 148 BC, and after the four client republics (the "tetrarchy") established by Rome in the region were dissolved. The province incorporated ancient Macedonia, with the addition of Epirus, Thessaly, and parts of Illyria, Paeonia and Thrace. This created a much larger administrative area, to which the name of 'Macedonia' was still applied. The Dardanians, to the north of the Paeonians, were not included, because they had supported the Romans in their conquest of Macedonia.

Description

Organization

After the reforms of Diocletian in the late 3rd century, Epirus Vetus was split off, and sometime in the 4th century, the province of Macedonia itself was divided into Macedonia Prima in the south and Macedonia Secunda or Salutaris in the north. These provinces were all subordinate to the Diocese of Macedonia, one of three dioceses comprising the praetorian prefecture of Illyricum. When the Prefecture was divided between the Western and Eastern Empires in 379, the Macedonian provinces were included in Eastern Illyricum. With the permanent division of the Empire in 395, Macedonia passed to the East, which would evolve into the Byzantine Empire.

Origins

The "origins" of Macedonians are varied and rich. In antiquity, much of central-northern Macedonia (the Vardar basin) was inhabited by Paionians who expanded from the lower Strymon basin. The Pelagonian plain was inhabited by the Pelagones, an Upper Macedonian peoples; whilst the western region (Ohrid-Prespa) was said to have been inhabited by Illyrian peoples. During the late Classical Period, having already developed several sophisticated polis-type settlements and a thriving economy based on mining, Paeonia became a constituent province of the Argead - Macedonian kingdom. Roman conquest brought with it a significant Romanization of the region. This Roman component would be ever-lasting. During the Dominate period, 'barbarian' federates were at times settled on Macedonian soil; such as the Sarmatians settled by Constantine (330s AD) or the (10 year) settlement of Alaric's Goths. In contrast to 'frontier provinces', Macedonia (north and south) continued to be a flourishing Christian, Roman province in Late Antiquity and into the early Middle Ages.

Vegetable Macedonia or Macédoine de légumes nowadays is usually a cold salad or hors d'oeuvre of diced vegetables, in France often including red beans. Macédoine de légumes is also a hot vegetable dish consisting of the same vegetables served with butter.

Prepared macédoine, a mixture of diced vegetables and often peas, is often sold canned or frozen.

Etymology

The word macedonia was popularised at the end of the 18th century to refer to mixed fruit salad, alluding to the diverse origin of the people of Alexander's Macedonian Empire. It is sometimes said that it refers to the ethnic mixture in 19th century OttomanMacedonia, but the chronology and contemporary sources do not support this interpretation. Macedoine can refer to any medley of unrelated things, not necessarily edible.

Republic of Macedonia

Macedonia (i/ˌmæsᵻˈdoʊniə/mas-i-DOH-nee-ə; Macedonian:Македонија, tr.Makedonija, IPA:[makɛˈdɔnija]), officially the Republic of Macedonia (Macedonian: Република Македонија, tr. Republika Makedonija), is a country located in the central Balkan peninsula in Southeast Europe. It is one of the successor states of the former Yugoslavia, from which it declared independence in 1991. It became a member of the United Nations in 1993, but, as a result of an ongoing dispute with Greece over use of the name Macedonia, it was admitted under the provisional description of "the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia" (Поранешна Југословенска Република Македонија, tr. Poranešna Jugoslovenska Republika Makedonija), abbreviated as FYROM.

Macedonia Leader Vows To Press On

The Council of MediaEthics of Macedonia (CMEM) organized its Open Day on May 31st, when the first public session of the Complaints Commission was held. The members of the Commission discussed three adjudications for the media, on the basis of the latest press complaints.
The goal of the open session was to closely inform the public and the media about the work of the Press Council, which since its establishment three and a half years ago made 250 adjudications. This type of open session will be an imperative for the Media Ethics Council in its further action and promotion of self-regulation in the country.According to the Executive Director of the CEMM, Marina Tuneva, it is important to talk about ethics in the profession, but also about the rights of journalists for free expression and safe work. In her opinion, if the voice of the media is silenced then we are all deprived of the right to hear them.
Professor Huub Evers and a member of the Dutch Press Council have identified most common breaches of the professional standards that occur among Dutch journalists. According to the practice of the Dutch Press Council, the most frequently reported problems in the reporting are publication of inaccurate and biased information, news that violates privacy, absence of "second source" of information, and cases when the source of information is not protected. He did not mention hate speech at all, which, in comparison, is identified in a number of cases reported to the Media Ethics Council in Macedonia. Evers talked about the need of journalistic ombudsmen, who are currently engaged in five Dutch media.
Professor Jean - Jacques Jespers, Chairman of the Press Council in Belgium, emphasized that the marketing industry continuously tries to make commercial contents look like journalistic reports.
Statistics in Belgium have shown that 71 percent of Internet users cannot make a distinction between online editorial contents and advertising. Jespers also mentioned the so-called “deceitful omission”, when media signalize commercial contents but the manner in which they do this is not specified i.e. ambiguous terminology is deliberately used.
The President of the Press Complaints Commission in Macedonia, Mirce Adamcevski, emphasized that the number of media supporting the Council of Media Ethics rises, which increasingly becomes more visible in the public. According to the latest findings, 75% of the entire number of press complaints received refers to Internet portals.
The ExecutiveDirector of the Association of Journalists of Macedonia, Dragan Sekulovski, thinks that the laws can often impair freedom of expression and can easily lead to self-censorship. He also added that regulation cannot make the media more ethical and more professional. Sekulovski also emphasized the important role the Council of Media Ethics has in decreasing the number of defamation cases in the country.

(18 Jan 2018) NATO's secretary-general urged Macedonia to solve its 25-year-old name dispute with alliance member Greece and proceed with wide-ranging reforms if it wants its membership bid to succeed.
Addressing the press on Thursday alongside MacedonianPrime MinisterZoran Zaev, Jens Stoltenberg expressed hope that the name issue can be solved and welcomed the "renewed momentum, the renewed efforts" by Macedonia to reach a consensus.
Greece maintains that its neighbour's name implies a territorial claim on its own adjoining province of Macedonia.
Macedonia, a former Yugoslav province that peacefully gained its independence in 1991, denies that, arguing that it covers an area that has been known as Macedonia for a long time.
International institutions formally recognise the country as the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, the name Greece insists on, though many countries prefer plain Macedonia.
Both Greek and Macedonian officials have voiced hopes the dispute can be resolved within months.
Stoltenberg also mentioned the recent killing of Kosovo Serb politician Oliver Ivanovic, who was shot six times by unknown assailants on Tuesday near his political party's offices in the northern Kosovo town of Mitrovica.
Stoltenberg cited it as an "example of that the situation in Kosovo is not yet where we would like it to be".

Macedonia Leader Vows To Press On

SKOPJE (Reuters) - Macedonia’s prime minister pledged on Sunday to press on with a vote in parliament to change the country’s name, although his coalition acknowledged a referendum appeared to have failed to secure the 50 percent turnout needed to make it legally valid. The proposed name change is part of an agreement reached in June by pro-Western Prime MinisterZoran Zaev with Macedonia’s neighbor Greece to resolve a decades-old dispute that had prevented Macedonia from joining NATO or the EU.

Global Journalist: Press freedom in Macedonia and Mexico

On this edition, part two of our look at press freedom and how journalists do their jobs in countries where just reporting the news can be a big challenge.
For this, we'll talk to a reporter working in Mexico - where cartel violence has made the U.S. neighbor the deadliest country in the world for journalists. We'll also talk to a reporter working in Macedonia, a country that once had an open climate for free expression but that has backslid dramatically over the past decade. Both guests are visiting the U.S. on fellowships through the Alfred FriendlyPressPartners.
Joining the program:
*Krenar Sadiku, the founder of Macedonia's VFVMedia, a company that operates the popular websites medial.mk and post.mk
*Juan LuisGarcia, a reporter for the Mexican website SinEmbargo
Producer: Rachel Foster Gimbel
